  • Linux has a fundamental problem with native builds of closed source applications.

    This is lack of true retro compatibility.

    On windows you can still run software made for windows XP with more or less issues. But windows api are more stable and it does have retro compatibility tools built in.

    Linux does not, once in a while the OS APIs change, and any software not patched for those changes might stop working completely.

    I have been thinking for a while. That it would be great if some sort of “linux retro compatibility” tool existed.

    Similar to launching a program in windows with “window 7 compatibility” to be able to launch linux apps woth “Kernel 4 compatibility” or something like that.




  • Depending on how long they would be isolated.

    Central american powers were starting to play with the Empire idea when europeans came along.

    They might have had a Genghis Kang sooner or later.

    Also contact by trade would have been almost as lethal as the conquest. Remember that most death were because the diseases the europeans brought with them.

    Modern Hinduism precisely changed a lot to compete and stay relevant when other faiths starting to show up in India.

    It became much less focused on the polytheism and much more focused on philosophy like Buddhism.

    Their own polytheistic beliefs has been shaped to be more similar to the Christian trinity. And many gods are seen as part of one supreme God.

    It’s just natural evolution of religions. In ancient times religions where about explaining natural phenomena. Thus we had the god of the sea, the god of the sun, the god of the rain, etc.

    As those things got explained by science the gods needed to become more philosophical and vague.

    Also societies got bigger. You used to have the god of your tribe, and the tribe next to you had another god, and you fight one against the other. Then people lived in empires, with millions of people under an unique faith. To keep them all united a single good and a well structured religion is more useful.
